A Poor Reason.

The reason given by Collector Redman
and Commissioner Miller for insructing
Deputy Collector Murphy to refuse to tes
tify in the liquor case in the Superior
Court is seen, when the facts are taken in
to consideration. to be very flimsy one.
1t is that the giving of testimony may
take too much time of the deputy and in
terfere with his performance of the duties
of his office. Now when we consider that
Murphy could have given the testimony
required by the court in very few min
utes, and that his refusal to do so has
already kept him away several days from
the discharge OF his duties and may keep
him away from his office an Indefinite time
in the future. running into months posi-
bly,, it appears very plainly that if the
time of the deputy and close attention to
business were OF prime importance to the
government, it would have been much
better for him to have testified and got
through with it in few minutes than to
refuse to testify and spend weeks or
months in Jail for contempt of court. By
the action and instructions of Commits
sioner Miller the United States govern
ment is placed in the position of being
unwilling to permit an official fifteen min
utes to testify against q rumseller, but en-
tirely willing to allow him to spend
months in Jail to protect rumseller
against the penalties OF breaking the tenn
perance law of this State.

The Maine Salmon.

The propagation of salmon in Maine
waters seems to be meeting with certain
degree of success. The work has been
especially emphasized by the several fine
catches that have recently been made.
Public attention seems to have been at
tracted in a remarkable degree and many
expressions of appreciation heard. There
is however a drawbac to be feared. The
presence of salmon in our rivers may prove
too great temptation to some who NAV
undo all that has been DONE Not-with.
standing the legal right. the catching of
the fish at this time of year is very mop
perfume and for these reasons
1t is the habit of the salmon to ascend
the river, in the early spring, after the ice
has sufficiently disappeared and before the
water has fallen too low, and
make preparations to lay their
eggs. This season seems to be selected
partly at least from necessity; for owing
to the steep natural falls in many rivers,
the salmon are not able to pass them at
any other season. When the rivers were
damned. a decided obstacle was placed in
the way of the fish and itrapidly decreased.
To obviate this unfortunate result, fish
ways were placed in the dams by which
the salmon were enabled to ascend the
rivers as usual. and their presence each
year in greater numbers is proof of the
benefit to them from these structures. II
the fish are caught on their passage up the
streams there is sure to result decrease
of spawn.
Again it has been particularly noticed
that when the run of salmon has been
extensively interfered with rs for id
stance when considerable many have been
caught, the fish torsake their accustomed
spawning ground and seek another. Such
disturbance is attended with results tina,
are very disastrous to the increase of the
fish. Further, until our rivers become
we'll stocked it is decidedly necessary thai
the young salmon be protected. The
growth and development of the fish i.
greatest during its sojourn in the deep SEES
waters The salmon natures in a few
years and as each female salmon lays dur
ing a season, about 1000 eggs to eacf
pound of her weight, the multiplication o
the fish under favorable circumstances will
be seen to be very great.
Had it not been for the great depreda
lions OF both red man and white man
protection alone would be needful. Blu
the fish was nearly exterminated by the
constant and sometimes wasteful catch
The government desiring to preserve ant
if possible to again stock our stream:
with this delicious fish, took salmon to
Matching houses expressly built for the
purpose and transferred the young fish tc
the head waters OF the rivers. The habit
of the salmon is such that 1t revisits the
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1887-04-21

waters of its nativity with the returning
season, so that q river once stocked, be-
comes the continued home of the fish.
The work undertaken by the Fish
Commission when looked upon from
another standpoint ought to receive
assistance to the extent that citizens re-
frain from catching the fish before the
rivers become fully stocked. Filling our
rivers with salmon is simply cultivating
water upon the same principle as land is
cultivated 1t has been stated by Bos-
ton paper that 'the most frequented fish
ing grounds are much more prolific OF
food than the same extent of the richest
land. Once year only will an acre OF
the best land, most carefully titled. pro-
duce two tons of hay or one ton of Indian
corn. The same area at the bottom OF the
sea on the best fishing grounds yields
greater weight of food to persevering
fishermen every week in the year" What
is true of the sea is partially true OF the
rivers. There are special seasons with
the latter. Now if farmer should 60
into his cornfeld and pull up the imma.
ture stalks of corn or. to perfect the anal
ogy, destroy the corn altogether, there GER
tainly will be no crop reaped.
Maine is not only capable of supplying
her own markets with this rare fish but
without doubt if the proper attention is
given and the fish are allowed to increase
in numbers, there is no reason why she
cannot furnish an abundance of the deli
cious salmon to the people of her
sister New England States.

OF the work is completed sinking will con.

be done by contract. In the past the mine
has been very remunerative to the owners.
from the silver contained in the free

ores are of such good
quality, the Indications are that
If the chute Of ore is followed down to the
copper depths, a body of first class copper
ore will be encountered. Almost all the sill.
yer 1ound after contact with the copper
bearing portion OF the lead, is contained in
that quality OF ore, and is OF q native
character.
A number OF the miners thrown out OF
employment by the suspension of some of
the mines, are taking their departure for
other mines and camps. On the street cor

The secession OF the famous preacher
Sturgeon from the Baptist Union depr,vee
that body OF it's most illustrious adhsrent.
Usually. the bounds OF an orthodox
creed are too narrow for the great minds
that have come to the front among the
churches and they have withdrawn for
greater freedom OF action. In Spureeon's
instance, however. the opposite seems to
be the case. There is too much latitude
among the Baptists for him and he retires
from them to an isolated position that
utterly ignores the least variation from
the creed in which he himself believes.

The grading which the city is now com
PEELED to do on Main bet ween Granite and
Quartz is an excellent com OF a
much needed improvement which. it is
hoped. vii! be carried OUT generally in other
thoroughfares before the winter sets in. The
roadways OF many OF the streets have oeen
allowed to fill considerably above grade by
permitting the accumulation Of rubbish on
them which should have been removed by
private parties placing it there. The
presence OF d street-railroad line in a street
soon demonstrates the level tt which the
entire surface ought to conform.
